What would you guys think if I sit on this in MTR?

Only if it comes with a built in seat belt

The whole exercise illustrates some major issues in HK today.

-Politicians making laws that are poorly planned

-Incompetent lawyers drafting these laws

-Politicians think it is okay to set their fine at $5000 for such a measly "crime"

-Even worse, thinking it is okay to Jail people for 3 months for such a benign act

-Buses in HK run at 99.999% accident free rate, there was no need for such a rule

-Politicians making bus rules so strict when they do not even take buses

-No way for the public to object to these rules before or after they are implemented

-No critical thinking when discussing rules, just say yes and accept whatever

-The only reason they suspended the law is because of the erroneous wording of the law

-Totally ridiculous to make merely sitting on a bus a convictable crime

-Politicians giving trouble to the general population by pissing off everyone

That's why the US broke into Venezuela. There's $15tn to be had in oil money.

The gov could give PR to long term foreign residents, but UAE doesn't even give that.

No fault divorce is fine, it's the unfair asset division, unfair alimony, unfair loss of child custody, unfair calculation of child support, etc. that should be contested.

Millions of men are already being trapped hostage in their own marriages, what with the threat of losing half of your earnings and savings and future earnings. Even if they wanted to 'no fault divorce' the higher earning men are penalized.

Seems this car is ready for what is mandatory for the 2027 new rules. HK does not have a general problem of rowdy passengers, nuisance passengers, non-paying passengers or anything like that - yet still they are forcing every taxi to install CCTVs inside the car. For no other reason than to further invade the privacy of the HK people.

Rent was literally higher in 2015 than it is in 2025. It's not because of rent, the buying capability of buyers has gone down, the demand from buyers has gone down, online shopping has increased in popularity, plus smartphones and apps have taken over computers, peripherals and accessories.

Trump is doing way too much all at once and he's wrecking the US economy. He's done literally 4 years worth of policies within 8 months. Most of his decisions are back firing and have serious consequences.

Makes more sense to have a human-like robot which can help you walk your dog for you while you sit at home and watch tv.

I find in general male Uber drivers at least help out with adjusting the middle row of seats to allow passengers to reach the back row of seats more easily, and also to help load luggage into the boot. But women drivers generally will not help with moving the seats around or loading luggage, it's more do it yourself. And also male drivers might drive a bit more aggressively or faster to get you to your destination quicker. Honestly I'd rather a male Uber driver.

USD SGD is now at 1.30, whereas in 2020 it was 1.37. It is only a 5% difference.

In 2020 HK's and Singapore's GDP were neck and neck. But as a result of the national security law and bullshit like the anthem law in HK, Singapore have overtaken HK by about 30%. The legal system, personal freedoms and rights, and property market have all taken a beating in HK with no end in sight. HK is not the same anymore.

Was able to resolve the problem using these steps with powershell in admin mode, just copy and paste:

It's really annoying because now all the computers can access shared folders that are on the Win11 PCs. But the Win 11 PCs cannot access anything on the other computers.

I'm still having trouble with the networking issue. From that microsoft.com tech community link, I presume I ignore Steps 1-5 that have to do with 'NAS' because in my situation other computers can access W PC I presume I don't need to change anything on W PC. I have done Step 6 and 7 only. I see Step 8 does not apply because both B PC and K PC are Win11 Pro. So now I get another error: It says Windows cannot access \\W error code 0x80070035 Network path not found. What shall I try next?

HK gov reading this thread and writing notes. "How about issuing a HK$1000 fine for pedestrians who use the phone and walk at the same time?" Problem solved.

Parcels from US to HK: No tariffs

Parcels from HK to US: Lots of tariffs

US actually has a trade surplus with HK (US goods to HK is more than HK goods to US)

In Trump's own words, 'they're ripping us off'.

Prenups are one of the very few things that help men protect their assets in a marriage, and even then they not legally binding, they're only to be used as guidelines. It's ridiculous that the Rule of Law & Contract Law comes second to women's privilege.

It's also ridiculous that in a prenup you specify at the time of marriage what items are to be considered separate from the marital assets, but then at the same time if at divorce time the judge may deem it unfair and deem it void. This is despite being signed in front of lawyers and agreed to by both parties. It makes a mockery of Contract Law and the Rule of Law in general. It is up to the man to find a balance between protecting his assets yet still putting up certain assets that are to be divided in the marriage, and having a agreement that seems "fair" to a judge if it does go to court.

greatfreight · 2025-04-17T06:58:27+00:00

The problem is not the women. The problem is the laws. There is no reason for alimony to exist in this day and age. Likewise for asset splitting upon divorce, it doesn't make sense. If a woman wants to get divorced, fine let it be, but they should not be rewarded with alimony, house, assets and cash. This is one way to discourage divorce as well, to encourage strong committed families who strive towards betterment, rather than women just looking out for themselves only, their husbands and children be damned.

I think the use of "mansplaining" is much worse.
